Kasmuel McOure Leads Other Activists In A Katiba Mini Protest In Preparation For Tuesday
A group of activists has announced plans to hold protests tomorrow, Tuesday, to mark 14 years of the constitution and advocate for change.
The latest street protest is expected to reignite the wave of anti-government protests that began in June.
The activists, who are mostly young people, are outraged by the recent increase in abductions and forced disappearances.
The group, mostly made up of young people, claims that the peaceful protests are intended to address a variety of issues such as justice, corruption, and unemployment.

The protesters argued that President William Ruto has yet to address Kenyans’ demands, necessitating continued efforts to hold the country accountable through demonstrations.
Following their meeting, several of them were arrested as they attempted to hold a peaceful protest in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) as a warm-up for Katiba Day.
Protesters marched through the streets, chanting anti-government protest songs and carrying placards. As a result, the protestors have vowed not to stop until corrupt officials are tried and imprisoned for their actions.
“Tomorrow, August 27, Katiba Day will not just be a day of commemoration, it will be a day of mass action,” Chairman of Peoples Assembly, Brooker Omolo stated.
“We are announcing a general strike, a protest against the tyranny of William Ruto and a demand for his immediate resignation. We will not rest until justice is done.”
Wanjira Wanjiru, a fellow activist, condemned the government’s continued abductions and urged action.
“We cannot continue living in an active crime scene and do nothing about it, we cannot continue with the wake of corruption, abductions and police killings,” she warned.
Activist Kasmuel Mcoure, for his part, urged the public to join the call and take a moment to determine whether our constitution has been respected.
“We are inviting you tomorrow as the Katiba turns 14. We are asking you to take a short break and ask yourselves whether this constitution that gives us rights has been respected,” he urged.
The new Kenyan constitution was promulgated on August 27, 2010, under the leadership of former President Mwai Kibaki.
The Katiba Day protests will take place on the 14th anniversary of the promulgation of Kenya’s current constitution.
